You can add individual parts that will simplify the operation and maintenance of the unit.
How does this work
Before loading the chips into the hopper, you should place a spring there. It will help activate the combustion, while ensuring the smoke exit.
When the fuel is loaded, it is ignited from below through the mesh. It is business owner data to do this with a gas burner. As soon as the chips are set, the lid is closed.
If the fuel is dry, a large amount of smoke is immediately produced. The compressor is turned on after ignition. The smoke enters the smoking chamber through the chimney, cooling down.
Modernization
The described design is elementary, but you can add elements that will make it more perfect. With the help of additional devices, it will be more convenient to use the smoke generator, easier to clean. In addition, it is possible to control smoking, making it more intense.
With the help of a regular damper, you can control the draft. With such a device, smoking will become more effective. For this you will need:
An additional piece of pipe is welded to the bottom part where the mesh is located.
Two holes are drilled in it to allow a metal rod to pass through them.
Cut a circle from a metal sheet, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the smoke generator body.
Weld the finished circle to the metal rod, and bend the outer part of the rod into the shape of a handle.
The damper is ready, it works when you turn the handle.
The larger the hole, the stronger the air draft, and therefore the more intense the smoking.
